As part of International Women’s Day on 8th March, Primary 4 found out about Katherine Johnson who worked at NASA on calculating the maths needed to make sure that the first (and later) U.S. crewed space flights were successful.
They also designed posters of women who inspire them – and it was lovely to see how many choose women from their own families.
Another week back in school and we are having so much fun!
In numeracy this week, we have been focusing on sharing items, writing calculations and fractions.
We have also celebrated World book day this week! We listened to Tom Fletcher reading his book ‘There’s an alien in your book’. We really enjoyed the story.
Mrs Howley’s class created their own front cover and discussed what character we would have in our own books, what they looked, what they did and how we could get them out!
Miss Gorman’s class created a planets for the alien to live on, using felt tips, paper and glitter! We all had great fun imagining what creatures lived on our planets.
Mrs Howley’s class also made amazing bookmarks!
In PE this week, we were practicing our football skills! We were working on spatial awareness, dribbling and control.
In topic this week, Mrs Howley’s class discussed the key features of a village and created their own maps using a key.
Homework is for this week is up on Seesaw.
We hope you all have a fantastic weekend and see you all on Monday!
Mrs Howley and Miss Gorman
Tomorrow is World Book Day and the teachers have lots of fun activities planned for you to try, be sure to check on Seesaw and Teams for more details. I can’t wait to see everyone dedicating some time to reading for enjoyment and learning from real authors virtually too! It is sure to be a fun day although it is different to usual.
We would love to see you get involved in some competitions that are running this week and you could even win some books or vouchers! The teacher’s will explain these to you in more detail. But here is an outline of one you could try:
